david robinson, who used to write safety reports for openai, has quit and spoken out about the company's 'broken' culture. he believes the ai industry's 'extreme confidence' and 'perpetual sprints' approach ignores potential problems and that companies need to develop humility and implement stricter safeguards, such as nuclear-level redundancy and planning. robinson is not alone; several researchers and safety workers have left prominent ai firms, including anthropic and google deepmind, citing concerns about ai risks. this exodus comes as the ftc has reportedly opened an investigation into openai and anthropic.
